Social Recruiting in a Squeezed Labor Market

With the economy continuing to recover, call center representatives have more employment opportunities than they have in recent past. Job growth has pushed contact center turnovers to their highest rate since the recession—rising from 29% in 2009 to 46% in 2013.

More and more competitors began launching social networking profiles, but we noticed how hardly any of them shared open jobs or even mentioned they were hiring. Their oversight was our opportunity: TweetMyJobs got our brand in front of more local talent in less time through social media. – Melody Nelson, Recruiting Specialist, ICE

Facing three main challenges—turnover, competition, and limited resources—ICE turned to CareerArc to search for new channels and a new approach to hiring. Within the first few months, the company experienced stellar returns.
